Premiere: Barli delivers multi-dimensional electronica on “No Weapons”

Alt-pop magic from London's latest breakthrough.

[I]n a world furnished with an excess of declamatory, reductive pop, BARLI presents a multi-faceted, unexpected alternative. Refusing to reduce relationships, vocals and soundscapes to one-dimensional phenomena, “No Weapons” is the latest single from the London singer. The track alternates between tones, with glossy, ascending sections interspersed with contemplative, moody verses. Meanwhile, the lyrics present an invitation to reconcile or run away.

Following on from the acclaimed singles “Pebbles” and “Rum Woman”, “No Weapons” is another low-key anthem in BARLI’s arsenal of alt-pop magic.
